SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. WE WERE STOPPED, THEN IT LOOKED LIKE THE TRAFFIC WAS MOVING SO I STARTED MOVING, I WAS ONLY IN FIRST GEAR THEN THE JEEP IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SUDDENLY, SO I HIT THE BRAKES, BUT I DIDN'T STOP I JUST KEPT MOVING AND RAN INTO THE TIRE OF THE JEEP. I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY I DIDN'T STOP BECAUSE I WASN'T EVEN GOING THAT FAST. . THE HOOD FOLDED INTO THE ENGINE, SO I WAS NOT ABLE TO START THE CAR. I PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND MEN FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUSHED IT OVER ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUSHED THE BRAKES AGAIN AND NOTHING HAPPENED, SO I PULLED UP THE PARKING BRAKE TO MAKE THE CAR STOP ROLLING.

MY 2012 FORD FOCUS HAS A FAULTY BACK DRIVER SIDE DOOR THAT WILL NOT CLOSE. HAD TO TAKE TO DEALER AND PAY $503.00 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO FORD THE FIESTA HAS DISPLAYED THIS SAME PROBLEM; HOWEVER, MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. "THE DOOR LATCH IN THESE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE A BROKEN PAWL SPRING TAB, WHICH TYPICALLY RESULTS IN A CONDITION WHERE THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH," THE COMPANY SAID IN A STATEMENT. "IF A CUSTOMER IS THEN ABLE TO LATCH THE DOOR, THERE IS POTENTIAL THE DOOR MAY UNLATCH WHILE DRIVING, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY." "FORD IS AWARE OF TWO ALLEGATIONS OF SORENESS RESULTING FROM AN UNLATCHED DOOR BOUNCING BACK WHEN THE CUSTOMER ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE IT, AND ONE ACCIDENT ALLEGATION WHEN AN UNLATCHED DOOR SWUNG OPEN AND STRUCK AN ADJACENT VEHICLE AS THE DRIVER WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE," THE COMPANY SAID. NO INFORMATION ABOUT THE RECALL HAS BEEN POSTED ON THE WEB SITE OF THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINSTRATION, WHICH OVERSEES VEHICLE SAFETY IN THE U.S. "IN RESPONSE TO A THOROUGH NHTSA INVESTIGATION THAT DEMONSTRATED A CLEAR RISK TO SAFETY, FORD IS TAKING IMPORTANT ACTION TO PROTECT ITS CUSTOMERS," SAID NHTSA ADMINISTRATOR MARK ROSEKIND IN A STATEMENT SENT TO EDMUNDS. "WE ARE PLEASED THAT FORD IS TAKING THIS PROACTIVE STEP FOR SAFETY." LAST MONTH, NHTSA UPGRADED A PROBE INTO THE 2011-'13 FORD FIESTA FOR DOOR-LATCH PROBLEMS. "FORD IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE AND WE HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATING IT THROUGH OUR NORMAL PROCESS," WROTE FORD SPOKESWOMAN KELLI FELKER IN RESPONSE TO A QUERY FROM EDMUNDS. "FORD IS WORKING COOPERATIVELY WITH THE AGENCY AND HAS DISCUSSED THIS RECALL WITH NHTSA." THE RECALL INCLUDES 336,873 VEHICLES IN THE U.S. AND FEDERALIZED TERRITORIES, 30,198 IN CANADA AND 22,514 IN MEXICO.

POWER TRAIN
EARLY 2013, EXPERIENCED DAILY VIOLENT "SHUDDERING" WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, GOING AROUND CORNERS AND GOING UP HILLS AND ANY KIND OF INCLINE. FORD SERVICE DEPT. DIAGNOSED MY CAR ON 8/28/13 AS NEEDING A NEW CLUTCH WHICH WAS ON BACK-ORDER DUE TO HIGH-DEMAND. ON 9/17/13, MY CLUTCH WAS REPLACED. SLOWLY THE SHUDDERING RETURNED AND MARCH OF THIS YEAR (2015), IT WAS AGAIN SHUDDERING VIOLENTLY. ON 3/26/15, FORD SERVICE DEPT. DIAGNOSED MY CAR AS NEEDING THE TRANSMISSION TO COME FULLY OUT AND BE REPAIRED. ON 5/5/15, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REMOVED AND BOTH INPUT SHAFT SEALS WERE FOUND TO BE LEAKING. THE SEALS WERE REPLACED AND THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY WAS CLEANED. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER, THE CAR STARTED SHUDDERING AGAIN AND ON 8/14/15 AS I DROVE WITH MY TODDLER IN THE BACKSEAT, THE CAR STARTED SHUDDERING AND LOST POWER AS I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY AND AN ALARM SOUNDED INSIDE THE VEHICLE WITH A MESSAGE ON THE DASH THAT READ " TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION - SERVICE NOW". ON 8/17/15, FORD SERVICE DEPT. DIAGNOSED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO AGAIN BE REMOVED AND REPAIRED WHICH IS NOW SCHEDULED FOR 9/15/2015. PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE DIES BEFORE MAKING FORD DEAL WITH THIS VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. MANY FORD FOCUS OWNERS ARE LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THIS WOULD BE VERY SCARY, NOT TO MENTION POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS IF THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING THE VERY BUSY L.A. FREEWAYS WITH MY TODDLER TO/FROM SCHOOL/WORK EVERY MORNING AND EVENING.

STEERING
AFTER STARTING CAR A WARNING BELL SOUNDED AND NOTIFICATION ON DASH SAID "STEERING ASSIST FAILURE". CALLED FORD AND SPOKE WITH SERVICE AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE. I GAVE HIM MY INFORMATION. HE TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THIS WOULD BE A OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE FOR THEM TO EVEN DIAGNOSE. HE ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THAT HE HAS SEEN A "FEW" FOCUS'S WITH THE SAME ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME NATURE. I HAVE CALLED FORD AND AM AWAITING A RETURN CALL FROM THEM. THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED IN CALIFORNIA (PHILLIPS ET AL VS FORD MOTOR COMPANY) ON THIS SAME ISSUE. FORD DOES HAVE A RECALL ON THE FUSION #15S18 CONCERNING THIS SAME MALFUNCTION.

MY 2012 FORD FOCUS TAKES A DANGEROUSLY SLOW AMOUNT OF TIME TO ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY AND SHUDDERS EXCESSIVELY AND VERY VISIBLY (AT ANY SPEED) WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THIS CAR IS A SAFETY CONCERN. JUST THIS WEEK IT IS NOT STARTING AT ALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR AND THEY WILL REPLACE IT FOR FREE. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM THAT OTHERS HAVE CONTINUED TO HAVE THESE SAFETY ISSUES EVEN AFTER FORD REPLACES THEIR TRANSMISSION OR TRANSMISSION CLUTCH.

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION WITHIN A MONTH OF DRIVING IT. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN THEY REPROGRAMMED THE POWERTRAIN TO FIX SHUDDERING AND ROLLBACK AS WELL AS FIXED THE NAMEPLATE THAT FELL OFF MY CAR. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO SHUDDER WAY MORE THAN BEFORE AFTER THIS. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT IN THEY REPAIRED A LEAKY SEAL AND REPROGRAMED THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. SINCE THEN IT STILL ROLLS BACK ON SLIGHT INCLINES BUT NOT AS MUCH. ALSO, MY CAR STILL MAKES LOUD GRINDING SOUNDS AS WELL AS SHUDDERS AND HESITATES AT LOW SPEEDS. I'M GOING TO BRING IT IN FOR A THIRD TIME, BECAUSE OF THE EXCESSIVE SHUDDERING, HESITATION AND IS LEAKING TRANSMISSION OIL. BESIDES THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS THE QUALITY OF MY CAR SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE AS WELL, AS WATER SEEMS TO COLLECT INSIDE THE DOORS AFTER IT RAINS. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AS THIS IS MY FIRST BRAND NEW CAR AND MY FIRST TIME BUYING A FORD.

ON AUGUST 20, 2015, I WAS DRIVING MY FORD FOCUS ON ROUTE 38 IN ILLINOIS; DASHBOARD LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING "MALFUNCTION TRANSMISSION SERVICE NOW." IMMEDIATELY, I VISITED THE NEAREST VEHICLE SERVICE REPAIR SHOP AND REQUESTED THAT THE SERVICEMAN CHECK MY TRANSMISSION FLUID. I JUST THOUGHT THAT MAYBE SOMETHING HAPPENED WHILE I WAS GETTING AN OIL CHANGE. THE SERVICEMAN WAS VERY NICE TO CHECK MY VEHICLE AT NO CHARGE. SERVICEMAN SAID, THERE IS AN INTERNAL MALFUNCTION WITH YOUR TRANSMISSION. HE REFERRED ME TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. OF COURSE MY FIRST STEP WAS TO CHECK ON LINE TO VERIFY IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON MY FORD FOCUS SEL. I VISITED THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE (HTTP://WWW.CARS.COM/RECALLS/FORD/FOCUS/2012/. THE SIGHT SHOWED "NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY RECALLS. RECALL NUMBER 13V523000 RECALL DATE: 10/30/2013. COMPONENT: POWER TRAIN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM.PCM) ON AUGUST 20, 2015 AT 11:12 AM, I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AT (800) 392-3673. I TOLD FOREST (CUSTOMER SERVICE PHONE REP) THE PROBLEM THAT I WAS HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE. HE ASKED IF HE COULD PLACE ME ON HOLD TO CHECK FOR RECALLS; THE CALL WAS DISCONNECTED.. I CALL (800) 392-3673 AGAIN, I SPOKE TO A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE NAMED GABRIEL. GABRIEL INFORMED ME THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. GABRIEL SAID, FORD PROGRAM HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON MY TRANSMISSION AND IT IS COVERED UP TO $150,000 MILES. WHY IS FORD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY, IF THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WHY WASN'T THIS VEHICLE RECALLED FOR THE POWER TRAIN? AFTER ALL, NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY RECALLS DID INDICATE THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER TRAIN. IT HAS BEEN MY EXPERIENCE THAT POWER TRAIN DO NOT USUALLY REQUIRE REPAIR ON VEHICLES WITH ONLY 59,000 MILES. FORD NEEDS TO IMMEDIATELY REPAIR MY VEHICLE OR REPLACE IT AT NO CHARGE.

ON OCTOBER 7TH, 2014 MY CAR (FORD FOCUS 2012) BEGAN EXPERIENCING SOME TRANSMISSION ISSUES. IT WOULD JERK EXTREMELY HARD WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PUSHED. IT WOULD ONLY ACCELERATE A LITTLE BEFORE FINALLY JERKING INTO SECOND GEAR. THE CAR ACTED AS THOUGH IT DIDN'T WANT TO SHIFT GEARS. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT NEEDED A NEW CLUTCH PIECE AND RESEALED THE TRANSMISSION SEALS. AFTERWARDS, THE CAR WAS STILL DOING THE SAME AS BEFORE. I TOOK IT BACK IN JANUARY OF 2015 AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND THE CAR WAS PERFORMING TO THE SPECS. AFTER THAT, I CONTINUED EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND RETURNED WITH THE CAR AGAIN IN LATE MAY OF 2015. THIS TIME THEY SAID THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED AND SYNCED AND IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK IT STILL MADE THE SAME PROBLEMS. ON AUGUST 19, 2015 I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND PUSHED ON THE GAS WHEN THE CAR SHUTTERED AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO FALL OUT IT JERKED SO HARD. IT FINALLY ACCELERATED AND STARTED MOVING.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN MAY 2012. FROM THE START THE TRANMISSIONS SHIFTED ROUGH AND JERKY. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR THIS TYPE. CONDITIONED WORSENED AND IT WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP IN NOVEMBER 2014. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS WITHIN "LIMITS" AND WAS REPROGRAMMED. A FEW MONTHS LATER, I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND WENT TO ACCELERATE. TRANMISSION SHUTTERED AND CAR DID NOT RESPOND, I WAS REAR ENDED CAUSING 2,000 IN DAMAGE. TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO SHUTTER AND HESITATE. CAUSES CAR TO LURCH FORWARD OR BACKWARDS FROM A STOP, I TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP PURCHSED FROM. I WAS TOLD TO COMPLAIN TO FORD AND MOST LIKELY WOULD ONLY BE REPROGRAMMED AGAIN. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED. CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IF IT SHUTTERS OR MIS SHIFTS AT HIGHWAY SPEED, COULD RESULT IN SERIOIUS INCIDENT. HELP PLEASE.

CAR LOSES POWER WHEN IN DRIVE AT 20MPH ON STREET. PULLED OVER, TURNED ENGINE OFF. RESTARTED NORMALLY. NO PRIOR NOTIFICATION ON DASHBOARD. THE NEXT DAY WHILE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY CAR LOSES POWER. IT RESUMES ACCELERATION AFTER STALLING FOR APPROX 10 SECS. CHECK ENGINE SIGN APPEARS AFTER RESUMING ACCELERATION. I EXIT THE FREEWAY AND MAKE MY WAY BACK HOME. TRANSMISSION FAILS TWICE WHILE EN ROUTE ON FREEWAY. BOTH OCCASIONS I MANAGE TO MERGE TO THE EMERGENCY LANE WHILE IN NEUTRAL. ONCE IT RESUMED AFTER A FEW SECONDS, ANOTHER TIME I RESTARTED THE CAR AFTER TURNING IT OFF FOR APPROX 10 SECONDS. I TAKE IT TO BOB WONDRIES FORD IN ALHAMBRA FOR TCM REPLACEMENT. TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS RESUME ONE WEEK LATER, WITH SLOW ACCELERATION ON FREEWAY, LOSS OF POWER WHEN DRIVING UPHILL, TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING, AND TRANSMISSION GRINDING.

ON THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT MY FAMILY AND I WERE GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY HEADED TO THE BEACH, WHEN I WENT TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO MERGE ON THE HIGHWAY THE RPMS WENT UP BUT THE CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION FOR FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS CAUSING US TO LOSE SPEED WHILE MERGING. THE CAR THEN CHANGED GEAR REALLY HARD AND JUMPED US FORWARD ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN 3 TIMES NOW FOR TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH REPLACEMENT. IT WILL RANDOMLY SHUTTER, HESITATE, JERK AND JUMP FORWARD. ON ONE OTHER OCCASION IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO REAR END A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE LAST TIME WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER UPON PICKING THE VEHICLE UP FOR A DUAL CLUTCH REPLACEMENT I WAS TOLD IT WOULD PROBABLY NEED TO GO BACK IN SOON AND BE REPLACED AGAIN. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL AND IS UNSAFE
